Missing Person's Event UPDATE!
Mar 7 2024
Missing Person's Event UPDATE!
Annual Missing Person's Day Greater San Antonio 2024Hey there, fellow HOMkins! I'm excited to give you all an update on the February 3rd Missing Persons Day Event in San Antonio. It was an incredible experience and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share it with you. One of the highlights of the event was getting to meet Nina Brooks, the CEO of Search and Support San Antonio.  My friend Robin Johnson, who is the aunt of Armani Dante Morgan, an unsolved murder victim, was also there with me (Unsolved Homicide of Armani D. Morgan ~ Robin Johnson FULL INTERVIEW). The walls were filled with Missing Person posters and banners, serving as a powerful reminder of the countless individuals who have gone missing, been murdered, or are part of unsolved cases in San Antonio alone. It was a sobering sight to see names like Lina Kihl, Pauline Diaz, Amalia Garza, James Preston Davis, Khadija Derry, Ray Richardson, and Meagan Gonzales, among thousands of others, all still missing or unsolved.It was a bittersweet event, as we came together to honor and remember those who are still missing or have been victims of unsolved cases. But it was also a day of hope, as we saw the community come together to support each other and work towards finding answers and justice for these individuals and their families. I was particularly moved by the presence of organizations like Search and Support San Antonio, who work tirelessly to bring closure to families and give a voice to those who can no longer speak for themselves.I urge all of you to take a moment to reflect on the names I mentioned earlier, and the thousands of others who are still missing or have unsolved cases. Let's keep their memories alive and continue to spread awareness, in the hopes that one day, we will have answers and justice for all. Until then, let's continue to support each other and work towards making our communities safer for everyone.Thank you for taking the time to read about my experience at the Missing Persons Day Event. Let's keep the momentum going and remember, we are all in this together.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------MORE ON: Search and Support San Antonio, Missing Person Eventhttps://www.sassatx.org/missing-person-flyer-templatehttps://www.sassatx.org/our-sponsors-partners-and-supporters--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NEXT WEEK EVENT: Arlene Harbison, Central Texas Cold Case March-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
